Lipid peroxidation, collagen metabolism and cellular immunity indices of patients with chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis

An increase in the activity of lipid peroxidation was established in patients with chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis. They were noted in parallel with marked disorders of indices of cellular immunity and collagen metabolism. The relationship between lipid peroxidation and the main pathogenetic mechanisms of chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis (the immunological ones and fibrosis formation) was established.
